Requested move 16 November 2020

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed. BD2412 T 16:31, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– "Census" is a common noun and should be lowercase, as consistent with other countries. Reywas92Talk 22:28, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, this seems like a fair change.--Woko Sapien (talk) 21:05, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to @Reywas92: I have closed the 2010 census RM opened by you and converted this one into a multi-move request. Please feel free to revert me if you want to keep them separate. BegbertBiggs (talk) 23:34, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, I meant to have just one discussion, did I do it wrong? Reywas92Talk 23:38, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You began a separate second discussion. Template:Requested move#Multiple related move requests has documentation on how to start a request for multiple pages at once, in case you need it in the future. BegbertBiggs (talk) 23:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - this was always my preferred title, but I found that there was more evidence for United States 2020 Census. With the above RM closed, I'm more than happy to resolve these inconsistencies and wouldn't actually mind at creating some formal naming conventions and manual of style guidelines for censuses :) ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 09:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I am neutral on whether or not census should be lowercase, but whatever consensus is reached, for consistency, I think we should apply that to all the articles about the 24 U.S. Censuses going back to 1790 United States Census, not just 2010 and 2020. ECTran71 (talk) 01:42, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree; it should be consistent throughout Wikipedia. --Woko Sapien (talk) 20:28, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Reywas92 I agree with ECTran71 and others that the same capitalization should apply to all census. Strongly recommend that you list them all above and doing an involved relist to get consensus for all the moves. (t · c) buidhe 21:34, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, obviously, as I stated above. I have revised the header to tag all pages. Reywas92Talk 22:20, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Reywas92, you might also want to add United States Census to the proposed list as well. --Woko Sapien (talk) 16:17, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Not the way this works, as the discussion is well along and can't Christmas tree items onto it. All of these are proper names, by the way, per sources on each page. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:33, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - as these aren't proper or official names, just common names. However, we shouldn't move this for no other reason than that's how other articles do it. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:55, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per proper name. See United States Census, United States Census Bureau and other links, as well as search engine results and the page sources of the nominated articles (have checked a few of the pages and they seem consistent). When used by itself, 'census' is lower-cased, but as part of the full name it seems to be upper-cased. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:59, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:13, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Mgasparin (talk) 09:07, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "Reapportionment" Section Seems to be Incomplete

Utah has gained the most population (as percentage), but isn't mentioned in the states likely to gain seats.

Because it isn't. Read the sources...... Reywas92Talk 18:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated

The article is kind of outdated, some phrases are used in Past tence, althought we are in 2021 now, but there is for instance, such sentence: "As of April 1, 2020, Census Day, the Census Bureau still planned to complete the count by the end of the year". 76.21.97.234 (talk) 11:36, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Population table

Not only the values in that table don't agree with the official Census source, the population of the individual states doesn't even add up to the population of the whole USA... --Ngfsmg (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think I realized what happened: the population for the states is the resident plus overseas population,called "apportionment population" in the source, while for DC it's just the resident population. The total US population at the end of the table considers them both but doesn't include DC, being just the sum of the 50 "apportionment populations". I think we should use the same metric for all of them --Ngfsmg (talk) 22:52, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
